Afrobeat artist Seun Anikolapo Kuti has finally been arrested by the Nigeria Police over assault on a police officer on duty, IgbereTV reports.
Kuti was last week captured in an amateur footage, now viral, slapping a police officer on duty in Lagos.
Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, said:
“Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, in the early hours of today turned himself in at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, in company of his lawyer and family representative. He has been placed under arrest in line with the law.
“The Command appreciates the public for their concern and assures that the ongoing investigation will be detailed, transparent, professionally pursued; and justice will be manifestly served for all parties involved.
